Wednesday, August 6th is the 3rd annual New Jersey Institute for
Continuing Legal Education (ICLE) Seminar in Iselin, New Jersey.
Entitled, "Immigration Law Basics", the program will cover
various aspects of immigration law and is targeted towards
beginning immigration practitioners. Immigration Daily's Legal
Editor looks forward to speaking at the seminar. This seminar
will cover the areas of immigration law that will give a
beginning immigration attorney the tools necessary to handle
basic immigration matters. In addition to group wide sessions,
this year, ICLE is offering a choice of two workshop tracks:
employment-based or litigation immigration issues. This allows
those with a specific interest in either to attend sessions
related to that particular immigration topic. ICLE's Immigration
Basic's all-day program is an excellent way for those considering
practicing immigration law or new to the immigration law field to
learn more about the immigration field. Door registration is
available. For more details, see:
